Now I knew that heading would get your attention.
Firstly our coach lost us that game, not the players.
I can list out players that had poor games but it was who and where they were playing.
BA to start with is not guilty of nepotism.....he crucified his own son. He should never have been put into that position against the Souths left edge.
Marata should have been in the centres, Guth 5/8 and Rankin fullback.
Our forwards were poor tonight but they didn't get outmuscled, just out enthused.
I thought Moses had a good game and Papallii was excellent, even Sivo held up under pressure. Marata Nickuire ha a good game in the pigs.
Now I mentioned the circumstances and have listed most of them and now bring the officialdom into play, both sin bins were soft and unbalanced, the 10metre rule was non existent.
Every 50/50 call went against us, the bunker refereed a play 50 metres back against us.
So my summary is that a 38/20 scoreline wasn't too bad given the circumstances.
Where do we go from here, well that is the problem if you have a coach demonstrating no vision or tactical nounce. This weekend's selection process is virtually unforgivable.
I am not going to endeavour to come up with answers, its already been said multiple times by nearly everyone leading into this and now subsequenty.
Let's sit back and see what he learns, if it is nothing then it will accelerate everything that has been called for.
It will be interesting and we may never know, if the board call in BA and ask for a please explain..... i think we all should hope that they do, because if they don't then BA's complacency means he has wasted all the efforts he has made and achieved getting the team to their current status.
Let's hope we can come up with something before we hit the rocks.

Plus 2 sin bins IF only we could defend the edges Parra would have won believe it or not.
No RCG and than kafusi I got ruled out
I reckon you missed 20 minutes of the first half Mick, because during the half time break I couldn't keep up with all your whinging posts..... get over it Mick your becoming a broken record. How many tries did we score from Moses kicks and what put the most pressure on Souths defence. Moses also made our only line break in the first half.
Go back over the last week and see how many times you have repeated yourself. .......no wonder your not a coach,you stutter too much...Lol ....not that there is anything wrong with a speech impediment.
Moses was good in the first 20min. But he is being paid 800k so he needs to play for 80min mate. He is our halfback and I swear Arthur was more involved in our attack than him.
Moses disappears every single time that things get tough. He is not a leaders areshole.
Understand the game EA, you usually do, what would you have liked him do, defend outside Fergs?
I am not complaining about his defence. My opinion may be a bit harsh rn cause I was furious with eels from the 1st minute and I still am. After the first 20min, Moses went quite. Arthur was clueless at times. He threw some crap passes and needed some guidance from Moses. I question the tactics as well. Moses kicking game tonight and this year has been so good, so why the fuck was Arthur kicking the ball so regularly. If Moses is avaliable, use him to kick.
OK Lol
You will note I suggested to a post that Bup made that we should sack him now and install Ryan Carr.....just to see what would happen.
Read my blog, .....s...l...o....w....l...y
Any other coach would have seen our deficiencies from last week, moved Gutho to 5/8, Marata to centre next to Fergo, and bring in a new fullback from the reserves, or played Rankin next to Moses in the halves with Marata swapping in for Waqa..
I don't think our coach has a brain tbh.
